Before I can get pregnant I have to go off all of my wonderful meds for my Rheumatoid arthritis. So I spend about a year and a half not feeling as good as usual.

This time I had an insurance change and needed to get on a new health plan. Luckily for me Utah has a health pool for people who are "uninsurable" like me. I have been trying to get the insurance thing figured out since Theo was born...but it takes a long time...and I wasn't working on it as valiantly as I should have.

Anywho...I have been feeling horrible. Worse than I have in years. I haven't been this bad since Robbie was born.

The good news is today I got a package of beautiful enbrel filled syringes. I COULDN'T be happier. Honestly, this stuff changes my life. Cortney stuck me in the stomach the second I got them (for some reason this time I didn't get the injection pens...just syringes.)...and I just know that by tomorrow morning I will already be feeling better.

My new insurance pays 0% before I reach a 5000 dollar deductible. These babies are somewhere around 1600 dollars a month. However the company has an assistance program so today I paid 10 dollars. Not only that but the money they help with goes to my deductible.
